Fertility preservation in women with ovarian endometriosis
·doi:10.1684/mte.2014.0536

Endometriosis is one of the most frequently encountered benign diseases in gynecology. It is the cause of pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia) and infertility in more than 35% of women of reproductive age [1]. Complete resolution of endo…

article 2014
fluorimetric and morphometric analyses

BACKGROUND: In animal models of endometriosis, the identification and quantification of lesions originating from human endometrium is often hampered by the small size of the implants and their embedding in murine tissue. The purpose of the …

Nerve Fibers are Absent in Disease-Free and Eutopic Endometrium, but Present in Endometriotic (Especially Deep) Lesions
·doi:10.5301/je.5000155

Objective Detection of nerve fibers in endometrial biopsies was recently proposed as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for endometriosis. However, their occurrence in the functional layer of endometrium still remains controversial. Nerve fibers…

Are aromatase inhibitors effective in endometriosis treatment?
Expert opinion on investigational drugs ·doi:10.1517/13543784.2011.581226

INTRODUCTION: Current therapies for endometriosis cannot completely cure the disease, and patients present with high recurrence rates. Novel medical approaches are, therefore, needed. AREAS COVERED: In endometriosis, aromatase was long thou…

Inhibition of steroid sulfatase decreases endometriosis in an in vivo murine model
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/der079

BACKGROUND: Steroid sulfatase (STS) is involved in estrogen biosynthesis and expressed in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of disease-free and endometriosis patients. The present study was designed to investigate its role in endometriosis de…

Inhibition of Steroid Sulfatase Decreases Endometriosis in an In Vivo Murine Model
·doi:10.1097/ogx.0b013e31823d8bed

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder. Treatment with hormonal therapy suppresses estrogen and leads to regression of lesions. However, hormonal therapy is associated with significant morbidity, adverse effects, and recurrence of …
